directory - Move home folder to second drive




I have 2 HDD drives in my computer. At the moment second drive is mounted as /media/storage.



How can I move my user data from /home to /media/storage/home?



Can I just move the data over there and then simply symlink it back?



If you want to just move your home directory i.e /home/your-username then simply copy your home directory to other partition and then use System->Administration->Users & Groups to open user settings dialog. Click on the keys icon to authenticate your self

After that select the user that you want to change and click properties, go to advanced tab

change the home directory to new directory i.e the directory that you copied to other partition.
